Cheers people, wanted a black sport originally, had a 316 m10 an 318is an always wanted tech 2 so thought sod it an done it lol. The colour i wasnt too fussed on at first, but as one or two of you said, i now love it an think its one of the best colours. After a set of deep dish rims or azevs, and an m50 conveserion is on the cards now too :cool:

a nice set of deep dish wheels would really set it off

Sorry mate, didnt mean too offend anyone, might have been just my particular set, whatever i did though couldnt get rid of the shaking, spigot rings, balancing, tyres, nothing would do it. I loved the look though, wonder what it would look like with the kit as is is now. Also ride got a tad hard when on the pinas, got coilovers and polybushed suspension 8)

Nice car mate, But is it me, or did the car look better before the makeover?, mtech 2 kits are 2 a penny, I much prefer a standard look on an e30, although I've got 2 tech 2 kitted cars myself :D

My convertible was exactly the same, especially when I got it up to 60-70m.p.h

Very nice.

The car looked great before the kit. You were right to change the alpinas, the BBS look so much better.

Best lof luck.

The car did indeed look good before the makeover, but you can't beat a tech2.

I personally wouldn't have used the rear spoiler, having seen a few tech 2's without it, they do look good!

Good job though :thumb:

I'm not sure if it's just the pics but the alloys look abit dull in them. I'd say just refurb them, Antracite centres would look good on it IMO.

The pics of the car with the kit are really dull, if i took them with the proper camera they would look as good as the 1st ones lol. The bbs on there now r immaculate an absolutlely gleam to be fair. I find they only look good when they are clean though...which is a pain in the ass.

Might have to swap the plates now too, due to a nice chat an £30 donation to the old bill :x .... Might try my luck though an swap them if i get done again :mad: Apparently it was the last day of a big campaign to crack down on illegal plates!

Shall keep up to date with the next mods :cool:
